CJS Featured Charity 2018: The Vincent Wildlife Trust

Everyone who works within the
countryside sector knows how important our charities are. That's one of the
reasons why CJS offers free advertising in CJS Weekly, we'd much rather the
charities spent their hard earned money (your generous donations) on actually
conserving something than on splashy advertising. You're reading CJS, you don't
need to be told how wonderful RSPB or your local Wildlife Trust is to make you
want to work for them - you already know. CJS supports charities financially
too and we've made it possible for you do so by adding a small donation to your
subscription or when you get a job and no longer need your Weekly edition to
donate the value of the remainder to our charities.

Each year CJS choses one
Featured Charity giving them the opportunity to highlight their cause and good
works to CJS readers.We try to select
one of the smaller, perhaps less well known organisations.

CJS is delighted to welcome
our new featured charity and for them to introduce themselves.

The
Vincent Wildlife Trust

From the groundbreaking
national surveys that documented the catastrophic decline in the otter and
water vole populations in the 20th century, to the recent reintroduction of the
pine marten to mid Wales, The Vincent Wildlife Trust (VWT) has been at the
forefront of mammal conservation in Britain and Ireland for over 40 years. The
Trust was founded in 1975 by the late Vincent Weir, a philanthropist,
naturalist and visionary. The Trust does not have a membership, but does have a
strong ‘Friends of VWT’ supporters group and many loyal and totally
indispensable volunteers.
